Overcoming Acne Naturally-Part 1

The resistance by conventional medical practitioners to nutritional supplements is nothing short of appalling.

There are no current ongoing studies by the medical establishment into the role that nutrition plays in the onset of acne.

Acne occurs with the production of sex hormones during puberty. It often appears just when children are growing rapidly, around eleven or twelve years of age. Growth factors and hormones are involved in this process.

Modern medicine in typical fashion, would rather that the acne occur and then treat it after the fact, thus preventing it in the first place.

Although there are only a few well-documented studies on the effects of diet and acne, those studies show a dramatic picture of just how important a role proper nutrition plays in the prevention of acne.

A study was done on the peoples of Papua, New Guinea. Their diet consisted mainly of raw foods and high in the good fats such as coconut oil and fish. There were no documented cases of acne found among the entire population.

In the United States, acne affects 80-95 percent of adolesants, and 40-45% of adults over the age of twenty five. Of course as we know, the Western diet is full of refined sugars, refined flour, and over-cooked foods.

You probably won’t hear your dermatologist talking about this, but the simple fact remains, populations consuming raw food diets were found to have no cases of acne. Now that’s something to think about.

In my next blog we’ll discuss what supplements are helpful in the prevention of acne, and I have some good news for those of you that are battling acne and need some answers.

Accutane- Acne Cure Or Nightmare Drug?

Are you using or thinking about using the synthetic Vitamin A drug Accutane to treat your acne? You might want to reconsider.

It seems there is an ongoing horror story that surrounds the use of Accutane, a synthetic Vitamin A drug used to treat acne.

It is blamed for everything from causing birth defects and spontaneous abortions to suicide and lifelong side effects such as permanent hair loss, muscle weakness, and tremors.

Ladies, if you are pregnant or contemplating getting pregnant, and are considering using Accutane for an acne problem, think again.

A number of conclusive reports have linked Accutane to babies born with multiple birth defects. A survey of 14 women who had Accutane-exposed pregnancies, found one birth with multiple birth defects, four spontaneous abortions and five induced abortions.

Yet the number of Accutane prescriptions for women in their reproductive years has more than doubled in the past ten years!

Besides birth defects, Accutane is also linked to suicide, permanent hair loss, and muscle weakness and tremors.

Between 1982 and 2000, the Food and Drug Administration received reports of 37 patients treated with Accutane that committed suicide. 110 were hospitalized for depression or suicide attempts.

For those of you that are struggling with an acne problem and are considering Accutane, don’t do it! There are eighteen, yes eighteen different warnings with this drug. Read them, and if you still think it worth it to have “clear skin,” that’s your decision.

Vitamins That Fight Acne And 3 DaysTo Clear Skin

Before we discuss some of the natural supplements that have been shown to be effective in preventing and reversing the process of acne, I want to quickly tell you about a program I recently reviewed that claims to clear your acne problem in 3 days using only natural methods.

The gentleman's name who developed the program is Chris Gibson, who was a ten year acne sufferer himself. Since Chris has created the program, the response to his system has been overwhelmingly positive. He has appeared on numerous national talk shows and you can read testimony after testimony of acne sufferers who have had success implementing his program.

Now let"s discuss some of the natural supplements that can be effective in the treatment of acne.

1. Sulpher: Sulpher is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body, but is often forgotten as a crucial element in health, including our skin and nails. This vital nutrient is a constituent of karatin and callogen-substances in skin and hair.Many acne sufferers have good results when takin sulpher supplements in the form of MSM(methyl sulfonal membrane).
Start by taking 1000mg. three times a day.

2. Vitamin C With Flavanoids: Vitamin C is called the "super Vitamin" and with good reason.
it is an antioxidant that is required for at least 300 metabolic functions in the body, including tissue growth and repair. Vitamin C protects against infection and enhances immunity. Bioflavinoids have an antibacterial effect. Recommended dosage to fight acne : 1000 to 1600 mg. 3 times per day.

3. Chromium: For acne, chromium aids in reducing infections of the skin. To get the adequte amount of chromium in your diet, chromium should be taken in supplemental form called chromium picolinate. Chances are you are chromium deficient since the form of chromium in foods is not easily absorbed and is lost during processing. Recommended dosage to fight acne is 150 mcg. per day.

Of course there are many more supplements that can be very effective in the prevention and reversal of acne.

Your ideal intake of supplements will depend on your individual needs, your lifestyle, your diet, and the environment that you live in.
